• INGREDIENTS:
• Tofu:
*1 block extra firm tofu, lightly pressed
*1/4 cup coconut or other plant milk
*2 tbsp cornstarch
*Salt
*1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
*1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
*1-2 tbsp coconut oil
Mango
Avocado Salad:
*1 mango
*1 avocado
*1 small red onion
*1 jalapeño (seeded for less heat)
*Juice of 1 large lime
*Salt to taste
*A handful of chopped cilantro
• INSTRUCTIONS:
Finely
dice red onion and jalapeño, add both to a bowl, and sprinkle with salt and
lime juice.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together cornstarch and coconut
milk,
and to a second bowl add breadcrumbs and coconut flakes. If the coconut flakes
are very large, I recommend pulsing them in a food processor until smaller in
size.
Cut tofu in half, each half into slices, and pat slices dry with a clean
kitchen or paper towel.
Season from both sides with salt.
Add each slice to the cornstarch mix, then press them into the coconut
breadcrumbs until coated from all sides.
Heat up coconut oil in a large skillet, and fry tofu from both sides for
about 3 minutes or until golden.
Peel mango and avocado, cut them into medium sized pieces, and add to the red
onion jalapeño mix together with the chopped cilantro.
Serve tofu and mango avocado salad over some rice, and enjoy!
